GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My Name is Kamika Crawford I graduated from pershing high school this year 2024. I was only There for a Year due to me moving around in my life .The environment of pershing high school is getting better the administration. Any problems I had were with my peers. The administration took care of it .Most teachers were decent Some cared some didn't . The sports were incredible. The coaches care about them and the sports really brought the school together. They have many after school activists . My experience at pershing high school was decent. The challenges I faced were more with the teachers on how organized they would be.

Pershing is a very diverse high school , not only does it welcome all students but it pushed those students to excel to there greatest potential and ability. One of my favorite things about Pershing is the staff , along with our teachers , our principal and dean are very supportive and motivating to the students.

I had an awesome time at Pershing High School. I was on the volleyball and tennis team, we was all city champs 7 years in a row in tennis. I also attend v-tech so that I could learn a trade while in school. Pershing has many opportunities available we just had to take advantage of them.
